DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
The LTC®341±A is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-  
nous, step-down DC/DC converter utilizing a constant  
frequency, current mode architecture. It operates from  
an input voltage range of ±.±5ꢁ to 5.5ꢁ and provides a  
regulated output voltage from 0.8ꢁ to 5ꢁ while deliver-  
ing up to 3A of output current. The internal synchronous  
powerswitchwith77mΩon-resistanceincreasesefficiency  
and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.  
Switching frequency is set by an external resistor or can  
be synchronized to an external clock. 1002 duty cycle  
provides low dropout operation extending battery life in  
portable systems. ꢀPTI-LꢀꢀP® compensation allows the  
transient response to be optimized over a wide range of  
loads and output capacitors.

The LTC341±A can be configured for either Burst Mode  
operationorforcedcontinuousoperation.Forcedcontinu-  
ous operation reduces noise and RF interference while  
BurstModeoperationprovideshighefficiencybyreducing  
gate charge losses at light loads. In Burst Mode operation,  
external control of the burst clamp level allows the output  
voltage ripple to be adjusted according to the application  
requirements.

Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge  
being delivered at the switching frequency.  
Note 2: The LTC341±AE is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the 40°C to 85°C operating  
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation  
with statistical process controls. The LTC341±AI is guaranteed to  
meet performance specifications over the full –40°C to 85°C operating  
temperature range.

At light loads, forced continuous mode operation is less  
efficientthanBurstModeoperation,butmaybedesirablein  
some applications where it is necessary to keep switching  
harmonics out of a signal band. The output voltage ripple  
is minimized in this mode.  
The internal oscillator of the LTC341±A can be synchro-  
nized to an external clock connected to the SYNC/MꢀDE  
pin. The frequency of the external clock can be in the  
range of 300kHz to 4MHz. For this application, the oscil-  
lator timing resistor should be chosen to correspond to  
a frequency that is ±52 lower than the synchronization  
frequency. During synchronization, the burst clamp is set  
to 0, and each switching cycle begins at the falling edge  
of the clock signal.  
Burst Mode Operation  
Connecting the SYNC/MꢀDE pin to a voltage in the range  
of 0ꢁ to 1ꢁ enables Burst Mode operation. In Burst Mode  
operation, the internal power MꢀSFETs operate intermit-  
tently at light loads. This increases efficiency by minimiz-  
ing switching losses. During Burst Mode operation, the  
minimum peak inductor current is externally set by the  
Dropout Operation  
Whentheinputsupplyvoltagedecreasestowardtheoutput  
voltage, the duty cycle increases toward the maximum  
on-time. Further reduction of the supply voltage forces  
the main switch to remain on for more than one cycle  
eventually reaching 1002 duty cycle. The output voltage  
will then be determined by the input voltage minus the  
voltage drop across the internal P-channel MꢀSFET and

Although frequencies as high as 4MHz are possible, the  
minimum on-time of the LTC341±A imposes a minimum  
limit on the operating duty cycle. The minimum on-time  
is typically 110ns; therefore, the minimum duty cycle is  
equal to 100 • 110ns • f(Hz).  
Slope Compensation and Inductor Peak Current  
Slope compensation provides stability in constant fre-  
quency architectures by preventing subharmonic oscilla-  
tions at duty cycles greater than 502. It is accomplished  
internally by adding a compensating ramp to the inductor  
current signal at duty cycles in excess of 402. Normally,  
the maximum inductor peak current is reduced when  
slope compensation is added. In the LTC341±A, however,  
slope compensation recovery is implemented to keep the  
maximum inductor peak current constant throughout the  
range of duty cycles. This keeps the maximum output  
current relatively constant regardless of duty cycle.  
Inductor Selection  
For a given input and output voltage, the inductor value  
and operating frequency determine the ripple current. The  
ripple current ΔI increases with higher ꢁ or ꢁ

Short-Circuit Protection  
Having a lower ripple current reduces the core losses in  
the inductor, the ESR losses in the output capacitors, and  
the output voltage ripple. Highest efficiency operation is  
achieved at low frequency with small ripple current. This,  
however, requires a large inductor.  
When the output is shorted to ground, the inductor cur-  
rent decays very slowly during a single switching cycle.  
To prevent current runaway from occurring, a secondary  
current limit is imposed on the inductor current. If the  
inductor valley current increases larger than 4.4A, the top  
power MꢀSFET will be held off and switching cycles will  
be skipped until the inductor current is reduced.  
A reasonable starting point for selecting the ripple current  
is ΔI = 0.4(I  
). The largest ripple current occurs at the

Operating Frequency  
The inductor value will also have an effect on Burst Mode  
operation. The transition to low current operation begins  
when the peak inductor current falls below a level set by  
the burst clamp. Lower inductor values result in higher  
ripple current which causes this to occur at lower load  
currents. This causes a dip in efficiency in the upper  
range of low current operation. In Burst Mode operation,  
lower inductance values will cause the burst frequency  
to increase.  
Selection of the operating frequency is a tradeoff between  
efficiency and component size. High frequency operation  
allows the use of smaller inductor and capacitor values.  
ꢀperation at lower frequencies improves efficiency by  
reducing internal gate charge losses but requires larger  
inductance values and/or capacitance to maintain low  
output ripple voltage.

by an external resistor that is connected between pin R

voltage on pin MꢀDE will be set to 0.50ꢁ by the resistor  
divider consisting of R± and R3. According to the graph  
of Minimum Peak Inductor Current vs Burst Clamp ꢁolt-  
age in the Typical Performance Characteristics section, a  
burst clamp voltage of 0.5ꢁ will set the minimum inductor

Design Example  
If we set the sum of R± and R3 to 185k, then the following  
equations can be solved:  
As a design example, consider using the LTC341±A in an  
application with the following specifications:  
R2 + R3 = 185k  
R2 0.8V  
R3 0.50V

= 100mA, f = 1MHz.  
The two equations shown above result in the following  
values for R± and R3: R± = 69.8k , R3 = 115k. The value  
of R1 can now be determined by solving the following  
equation.  
Because efficiency is important at both high and low load  
current, Burst Mode operation will be utilized.  
First, calculate the timing resistor:

value for about 402 ripple current at maximum ꢁ :

A value of 39±k will be selected for R1. Figure 4 shows  
the complete schematic for this design example.

PC Board Layout Checklist  
Using a 0.47μH inductor results in a maximum ripple  
current of:  
When laying out the printed circuit board, the following  
checklist should be used to ensure proper operation of  
the LTC341±A. Check the following in your layout:

IL =

1. A ground plane is recommended. If a ground plane  
layer is not used, the signal and power grounds should  
be segregated with all small signal components returning  
to the SGND pin at one point which is then connected to  
the PGND pin close to the LTC341±A.  
C
will be selected based on the ESR that is required to  
ꢀUT  
satisfy the output voltage ripple requirement and the bulk  
capacitance needed for loop stability. For this design, two  
100μF ceramic capacitors will be used.  
C
should be sized for a maximum current rating of:

4. Flood all unused areas on all layers with copper. Flood-  
ing with copper will reduce the temperature rise of power  
components. You can connect the copper areas to any DC
